Other Bachelor Nations had the same impression and shared their thoughts on why it seemed that way on TV.

  • Daisy just seemed more ready for engagement and committed to Joey longterm. Kelsey gave his sisters weak and vague answers on those issues and came across as not ready.
  • My boyfriend was so uncomfortable during this cause it just really did seem like they liked Daisy more and I felt so bad for Joey cause it was so obvious he was obsessed with Kelsey and wanted them to love her
  • I think it was just editing to make viewers think his family would have the ultimate say and he would pick Daisy.
  • I think Daisy just seemed more ready to them. Like come on you can’t reply “I think so” to someone’s sister when they ask if you are ready to be married to their brother.

Joey had a response to fans questioning whether his family liked Kelsey.

  1. I think Joey should have picked Daisy, she is such a sweet person. Daisy and Joey’s family had such a great sweetness over her she felt very comfortable with them. she was ready for a marriage with Joey. Kelsy said she didn’t know if she was ready to get engaged.

  2. sorry but I don’t believe Kelsey was the right pick. She is all in the moment. it won’t work. sorry just my opinion. Daisy was ready to settle down and get married.
